2 Dividend Darlings With A Cut Coming

Higher rates have made many income picks look cheap, but for some, they just speed up problems that were already there. A midstream name with a near-perfect dividend record has a fresh "clean slate" but the deal behind it may have weakened its foundations. A leveraged fund pays double-digit income, but the cost of its borrowing is starting to work against it.

The Coverage Ratio Number Every MLP Investor Should Check First

When you scan a list of high-yielding master limited partnerships, the distribution yield is usually the first number that catches your eye. An 8% yield looks appealing next to a 4% investment-grade bond or a 1.5% S&P 500 dividend. But yield on its own tells you nothing about whether that payout is safe. The coverage ratio compares how much cash an MLP generates against how much it pays out.

TYG: Why This Energy Fund Is Still Only A Hold

Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp. is rated Hold due to insufficient discount to NAV, despite an attractive energy infrastructure portfolio. TYG's 26% leverage and 3% NAV expenses amplify both upside and downside, making entry price and discount level critical for risk-adjusted returns. The fund's concentrated holdings in midstream, LNG, and power infrastructure position it well for rising U.S. energy demand, but capital allocation risks remain.

TYG: The 13% Yield Isn't The Problem - The Price Tag Is

Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp is rated a strong Hold due to a diminished discount cushion despite solid asset quality and distribution coverage. TYG offers ~26% leverage and ~44% power infrastructure allocation, enhancing diversification and potential forward returns versus pure midstream peers. Recent discount compression to ~6.7% limits entry appeal; alternatives like KYN (~12.7% discount) or AMLP (no discount risk) offer better cushions.

TYG: This Fund Sacrifices A Lot Of Performance For The Yield

Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp. offers a 13.27% yield but has significantly underperformed both the energy sector and peer funds year-to-date. TYG's portfolio has significant exposure to electric utilities and renewables, limiting its ability to capitalize on strong midstream energy sector performance. Distribution coverage relies on net unrealized gains rather than net investment income, posing risks if market conditions deteriorate.

3 Closed-End Fund Buys (1 Sell) In The Month Of June 2026

The equity benchmark indexes have shown a bit more volatility, but it wasn't enough to derail a strong first half to the year. As we are still knocking on all-time high levels, I still added to some positions in my CEF portfolio but have been less aggressive. In fact, we've recently been seeing rights offering announcements this year, and that has prompted sidestepping these ROs.
